Show me where disagreeing with LDS doctrine and quoting their own scriptures and leaders is ‘hate’. Just because I am trying to point out the errors and lies of MORMONISM does not mean I hate individual Mormons.

Have you paid attention lately? Most Protestant and Christians sorted that out LONG ago. And you show another fundamental mistake the LDS make, that Jesus has a ‘denomination’. He doesn’t. The ‘church’ is the Body of Believers regardless of what denomination they attend. They become a member of that body by grace through faith alone, not membership in a ‘church’. What matters is the specific doctrines concerning the Person, work and Nature of Jesus Christ, something the LDS DO NOT agree with Christians on but Protestants and Catholics do.

One last point, because we accept the idea of a reformation and not a ‘restoration’ Christians can agree, learn from and even examine closely Christian Church history and admit that mistakes were made.

But the LDS, being a ‘restoration’ group does not have that luxury. If they admit mistakes, then the LDS church as become ‘reformed’ rather than ‘restored’.

What I find ironic in the argument “you are showing hatred” is that the inverse they want is to love their friends and neighbors down the road to eternal ruination....

Heaven help if their neighbor's house in on fire in the middle of the night. By that logic the decision would be “well they have a right to be warm if they choose” and “it would be hateful to judge if a burning house is the best way to keep cozy, best not interfere"...
